大二时,Janny苗老师给了十个话题,给足够课下准备时间.考试时让口语谈论她随机抽取的一个话题.我竟然将十个话题写成了6篇作文.当时快要六级考试了,那大概是我英语水平最高的时期.翻阅过去的文件,不忍删除,故记之.
1.My happiest childhood memory
Childhood is a colorful box filled with all kinds of memories.No matter these memories are lamentable or delightsome,they deserve to be cherished with our whole life ,it is these memories that keeps us from sorrow and call back the state of childhood mind.All trifles can be banished from our heart whenever we comes back to childhood state.When it comes to childhood memory,the time when I was herding my goat appeared in my mind.//童年的美好,童年的作用,
I am a rural boy,for which reason when i was little i got access to nature easily on my own.As i grew older and older,my parents determined to give me a job to prevent me from hanging around in my village.//When i hanging around in my village with my partners,we always do something wrong.For example,we competed in throwing stones at our neighbors window and the winner would get more previllige among us and become the leader of us.And there is one time we set fire to a heap of wheat straw and watch the fire faraway. We once surrounded a hen,and we chased her together,finally she flied up to a wall.Maybe she was too scared,she had never laid any egg since then.//作恶的时光
//As a result,my partners and i became a famous professional criminal group in my village.There is no doubt my villagers made a detailed description of our great deed to our parents.Therefore,when i was seven years old,my parents bought me a goat with one hundred yuan.i had become a herdboy since then.//村人的反抗
It takes just few minutes to forget the sadness of getting bridled.I greeted my new job happily.//In my hometown,there was grass everywhere except the field where grows wheat and cotton.My job is to prevent my goat from grazing the crops.There are two ways to do this job.One is tieing the goat to a tree and stay in the shade sleeping or playing insects.The other is following goat's step and go wherever they go.//放羊的任务及方法
//It takes half of a year for a goat to breed her children,certainly it will take all his life if the goat is male.So one year later i became the leader of three goats.You may be curious why i got so many goats within one year.Because goats are always pregnant with two or three or even four babies one time.The children goats knows only who is their mother,they don't know who is their father,just like the people in the original society . The children goats has different characters.Some of them are active,some of them are quiet.//羊的生育繁殖
I like watching my goats grazing grass in the sun.They concentrated on eating grass as if that's something sacred.Their long moustache brushes the ground following their mouth and their stomach gets bigger and round.//羊吃草的描述,草的描述
//Concentrated on watching them eating,breeding,i started comprehend the meaning of life.And i started to consider where do we come from,why are we here,and where are we going.Silence is the mother of wisdom.I fell in love with meditation.I fell in love with nature filled with all kinds of plants and all kinds of insects.It is then that i started to believe mammals are equal to human.//我的思考
//Goats are affectionate and genuine.There is one time i cried sadly and now i forget why i cry,but i remember clearly my goat came near me and lick my back softly as if she is comforting me.When my parents insist to sell her for she was too old to breed children,i cried sadly on the grass ground where we stayed together.Now i don't know where she is,i really miss her.Maybe she has died years ago.//情感怀念
I am looking forward to going back to nature and becoming a herdboy again when i earn enough money in human's society.
2.A good place in my hometown
My hometown lies in Hebei Province which is a common village.When i was young,i feel my hometown is really big,i don't believe any place larger than my hometown.//小时的家乡,人,树,草,羊,小伙伴
There is no river or mountain in my hometown.Even though,there is still a good place in my hometown.My childhood become colorful and interesting for this place .It's this place where i always go in my dream.Actually it's just a moat used to holding summer rain.//地形描述,引出壕
When it comes to this good place,i cannot talk nothing about the economy in my hometown.Our main income ins planting cotton.Our main food crop is wheat.Planting cotton is really a tough work.All year round,we irrigate them,killing pest and many boring work.from spring to late autumn,it's impossible to have a good rest unless the owner is a lazy farmer.We grows cottons everywhere except this moat.When summer arrives,the rain water flushes every alley.To hold so much water,we dig two big moat in the east fo my hometown.The two moat will be filled with rain water in summer so no one plant cotton there int spring.for this purpose,the two moats survived from being polluted by farmer's plant.And the two moats become my paradise to play with nature.//经济描述,不种的缘由
The moat is a colorful world.so colorful that i don't know what should be described first.I am so familiar with every tree there.I am familiar with every kind of grass and insects there .I have touched every gain of soil there.//对壕里植物动物,土壤,风景描述
First,let me talk about soil.some soil staying in the surface feels like powders.Some soil staying i deep below the ground are wet.Lying in the wet soil is really cool when the summer sun is hot.And i have made lots of models with clay.
Then ,i want to introduce the insects and other animals.When the summer rain comes,the moat will be filled with water.All frogs come to the moat as if they come to attend a party.After the party,lots of tadpoles will be bred.There are two kinds of ants.One is little and black.They moves slow and they seems cautious about everything.The other is bigger and their body is brown.They moves fast and seems brave.It's impossible to mention all the animals,such as snail,dragonflies,and so on.
Not only the summer is interesting,but also the winter.When it snowed,i like running in the snow puddles with my dog.If the weather is sunny ,i can set fire to the dry dead grass and watch the fire spread and died off.
It's impossible to comprehend the pleasure staying in the moat unless you go there on yourself.It is really a common place,but for me it's special.
3.An embarrassed experience
All men hate embarrassed experience,maybe it's the worst feeling of human.As people says,sorrow makes people strong and loneliness makes people intelligent.But embarrassment only makes people more embarrassed.It's such a strange feeling that no one want to experience.Being embarrassed is hard.Talking about embarrassment is harder.Talking about myself embarrassed experience is hardest.This is really tough topic.
I have been a tutor of four students since i come to university.Tutoring is a tired job.My experience taught me that you cannot anticipate to clarify a problem to your student unless you understand it clearly.
Last summer,I applied a tutor job in the tutor center.And before i started my new job,i promised that i can teach three objects :math,physics and chemistry.Unfortunately,i estimated my memory too good to realize that i forget some knowledge .
Confident in my knowledge,i didn't review my knowledge at all.Actually,math and physics is okay not to review but chemistry is impossible.Facing the once familiar elements in my student's problem set.i am puzzled completely.It's really embarrassed to be puzzled by easy problems.I don't want to describe the detail and it's impossible and useless to describe this.Talking about my embarrassment is really embarrassed.I was waiting the arrival of the end of the class.
Since then i rejected to teach chemistry.
4. A difficulty i overcome
Difficulties are eas to forget once they are overcome.The past difficulties has died ,but the experience we acquired are hardly to be flushed by time.I hold a firm belief that we shouldn't live in yesterday's memory.Therefore,I'd like to describe a difficulty i am overcoming now. Although having been learning english for years.I am not good at spoken english.Let alone delivering English speech.Let alone delivering english speech .Let alone preparing for ten english speech.Let alone delivering english speech in five minutes.
Be or not be,it's a problem.Giving up preparing for the english speech and waiting for the deadline or strive my best to do it ,it's also a problem.Certainly i chose the latter.and instantly i started my battle with english speech .The reasons why i am afraid of english speech is that i am afraid that listeners cannot comprehend what i say.It's embarrassed to be asked "pardon me,can you repeat it one more time".I alway attach more importance to vocabulary rather than pronunciation.
Firstly,I analyzed the difficulty i am facing .There are two ways to do this work.Practising delivering speeches instantly and get accustomed to speaking english in public.The other is to write ten passages and memorize them.The former is easier to some people.It need a sharp mind and a large vocabulary to delivering english speech instantaneously.But to me,it's impossible to hold on speaking english according to one given topic.Disappointed at the first plan ,i started my second plan.Sadly ,i find it's hard for me to complete one passage in even fifteen minutes.However i overcame this obstacle.I analyzed the ten topics and luckily i find i can use one passage in several topics.the second topic is to describe a good place in your hometown,the ninth is to name the place where you want to live most.i can say i want to live in the good place in my hometown.The tenth topic is to describe a person in our history,the fifth is to describe the person i admire,i can say i admire this historical person most.The sixth topic is to describe a difficulty i have overcome,the fourth topic is one successful experience,the second is an embarrassed experience ,the seventh topic is a positive english learning experience.So i can say i am embarrassed at learning english one time,and this is my difficulty,and finally i overcame it.During this process ,i meet one teacher ,he or she is the teacher who influenced me greatly.
At last,my four passages can be enough for the ten topics.During this process ,i overcame the difficulty.
5. An influential teacher
Once upon a time,i met a good teacher who changed my hobby.As the saying goes,interest is the best teacher.Although he no longer taught me,he really influenced me in the long run.
When i made aquitances with Chinese characters i fell in love with reding.I have three sisters.So i have lots of used text books.I devour every words in the Chinese book like a silkworm devouring mulberry.I recited many poems although i don't know their meaning at all.I just think they are good and elegant.I started to be interested in history and geography.Chines and foreign historical events filled in my head.I am curious about the people ,the climate,the plants and animals all around the world.I think that's the whole knowledge.Growing older and older,I realized what i learned is far to be even a half of the world.Because i started to learn physics and chemistry and i feel hard to learn them.These nature science changed my horizon.I am too confused about what's real knowledge.It's at this critical period that i met this teacher.
His name is WuXinLun,if we translate it into English is have no new wheels.So we call him NapoLun,in Chinese it means use old wheels.Certainly if you have no new wheels you have to use the old wheels.He was a middle-aged man wearing no glass.It never lacked laughter in his class.His hands seems like a spade digging knowledge in the air because he always act every abstract theory lively.He is genuine when he taught us.He describe the reality peacefully and i cannot help to believe what he said is real knowledge i have alway want to persue.His every words touched my heart as if i am watching every detailed movement of the nature.He makes me believe that the nature is brief and beautiful.Inspiration is the reward of continual meditation.I started to hate artificial things .All human's history seems like trifles compared to the laws hiding in the nature,they do nothing with the universe.It's the natural laws ruled the universe and never change with time.I want to know the ultimate realty of nature.
This is what Mr.Wu taught me .Teachers should teach students how to fish rather than give several fish to them .Helping students develope an interest can benefit students in the long run.
6.The person I admire most/A person in history
If every Chinese is asked who is the most historical person in China's modern history,i believe most people will say MaoZeDong without any hesitation.He is also the person i admire most.
Born in a common village in HuNan province,he has no wealthy background like our headmaster.But he equipped himself with philosophy and literature.It's really unbelievable that a common rural boy changed old China and led a great revolution.Miracles never happen by accident.Obstacles are always hidden by people's success.He is diligent and hardworking.What's more ,his great deed should attributed to his intelligence and broad horizon.Just as he said,revolution cannot succeed without gun and pen.Not only he is a master in philosophy,literacy and history,but also he is as strong as an athlete.He is a good swimmer and his good health helped him a lot in the war.It's his good health that makes it possible to make over every tough conditions in the war.
However,he is as common as you and me.He is far to be perfect.His arrogance increased day by day after the establishment of the people's republic of China.His fault led to an unforgettable disaster of China. A series of wrong measures made people poor and tired.He is the brick for people to get on a new step ,he is also the brick that slowed our development.
Finally,i want to talk about his family.He lost five families during the war.Because of him,his first wife suffered a lot and finally get killed by his enemy.To my surprise,he married his second wife before his first wife's death.One of his biggest fault is he married his third wife who became one of the bad women in China's history.
He is a talented man,I admire him a lot.
